ANTVR — a Beijing-based, open source alternative to the Oculus Rift, completed a successful Kickstarter campaign this week.
ANTVR is a wireless virtual reality headset that comes with a clever transformable controller.
Kickstarter prices started at $270, and delivery is scheduled for this September. Some critics are worried that the company is over-promising, especially given the tight delivery date.
